Generally, the fishing method known as waiting nets involves stretching a net underwater

 and waiting for fish to come and catch them.

However, this illustration shows fish being swept away by rapids being scooped up

 with nets or baskets.

The river flowing gradually downwards creates splashes,

making it easy to scoop up fish that have lost their way.
